The custom of electing to the Senate
spectators who have so much private bust
ness to attend to that they can't look after
their public duties sometimes causes embar-
easements. The Republicans of the Senate
are apt to think so. They will stand very
much in need of Senator Jones, of Nevada,
this session, by reason of the narrow mar
gin of their majority, but Mr.. Jones has
not yet put in an appearance, and unless be
improves on his past record it will be some
time before he does. He is rarely seen in
his seat Why Nevada submits to such
misrepresentation can be explained only on
the ground that the Senator is more gener.
GUS with his money than with his time.
Some of the New Orleans people want
neither Gov. McEnery nor Gen Nichols
nominated for Governor of Louisiana.
They believe that neither could poll the full
Democratic vote, because both have bitter
enemies who would not give up their per-
sonal antipathies for the good of the party,
and while they would take no active part
in the defeat of an obnoxious nominee, they
would virtually oppose him by abstaining
from voting. Experience has shown that
fractional fights among Democrats in the
South generally end with the nomination.

A recent number of the London World
says that the Queen is profoundly depressed
on both public and private grounds by the
condition of the German Crown Prince.
Prince William, who would succeed to the
throne in the event Of the Crown Princes
death, is on bad terms with his mother, on
whom the hopes and ambitions of the Queen
are conferred, and is said to be hostile to
everything cherished by her, to hate En-
glish methods and liberal principles, and
to be narrowed in his views of politics, re-
ligion and society. 1t is stated that there
is no government in the world, except Rus
STA, where the personal character of the
ruler counts for so much in the conduct of
affairs as in the German empire, and the
accession of Prince William would be re-
garded with anxiety, and even disnay, by
the Liberals of Germany.

Tie Silver Dollar.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in his an
nual report, extracts from which we publish
in our dispatches this morning, calls atten-
ton to the ACCESSIBILITY of disseminating the
coinage of the silver dollar for the present
at least and he supports his position by ar
guments which appear to be convincing.
1t is true that the government has sue
ceeded in getting good deal of silver into
circulation in the shape of certificates, and
will be able to distribute great deal more
The dollars themselves are to a very great
extent stored in the Treasury. The people
don't want them, and would be glad if GER
tificates of small denominations were SUBJ
stituted for the greater part of those in cir
culation.
The certificates are acceptable because
they pass freely, and the public is confident
that the government will always redeem
them at their face value, although there is
no pledge that it will do so. If the silver
itself, instead of the certificates, were in cir
culation there would be constant danger Of
a refusal to accept it except at its bullion
value A silver dollar is now only worth
70 cents, and in the shape of bullion that is
all that can be obtained for it.
The Secretary points out that the time is
not distant when the government will have
more silver on hand than it will know what
to do with. In settling its obligations it
pays out such money as the people like best,
and in paying their dues to the government
the people offer the money which they like
the least. The people won't accept silver
freely, and they pay it to the government
whenever they can. The consequence is
that the government is accommodating a vast
amount of silver money beyond that held
against outstanding certificates, and beyond
any possible demand on the part of the peo-
pie. The Secretary says that this excess sis
absolutely useless for any purpose, and is,
in fact, menace to the silver which the
people hold and also to the United States
notes ard national bank notes, to the whole
circulating medium, except gold" 1t is not
probable, however, that the silverites will
heed anything the Secretary says about
silver. They would rather have the silver
coinage increased than decreased

MR.. MOODY AND THE METHODIsTs.

The Methodist ministers of this city
are well known as holding pronounced
opinions onsheir own ability to conduct
successful so-called revivals, without
any help from pastors of other denom-
nations. We were not aware, how
ever, before Monday of the present
week, that they were so self-sufficient
as to consider themselves beyond the
help, in this direction, of the distinguish
ed Mr.. Moody. 1t appears that at the
regular ministers meeting a resolution
was submitted inviting Mr.. Moody to
address the pastors next Monday. Any
body of Christians in the land, it might
be thought, would be ready to agreeto
such proposal, and be willing to sit
for an hour at the feet of this distin-
guished revivalist, in confident expec-
tation that the time would be profita-
bly, spent, and that he could give them
"a point OF two" to work up in their
zeal for souls. But the proposal did
not meet with unanimous favor. The
motion to invite Mr.. Moody to address
the ministers was adopted amid ''mur-
murs of disapproval."
Then came out the genuine Method
ist feeling of self-sufficiency and all suf-
fciency, and the unmistakable convic-
ton of many Of the brethren that not
even Mr.. Moody could teach them any
thing on this subject of revivals. From
the report of what was said after the
motion of invitation was adopted, we
CLEAN the following:
Elder Truesdell remarked that he
was not prepared to admit that the
Methodist ministers were failing in
their duties as evangelists and needed
any instruction on that point. He
would gladly welcome Mr.. Moody to
their meetings; but if a Methodist
preacher was not as good an evangelist
as Mr.. Moody he ought to be. He did
not believe the ''inquiry-room" was
better than the "mourners' Bench"
The old doctrine of preaching was good
enough for him. Loud cries of Amen"
AID "Bless God" from all parts of the
rooml
Mr.. Vaudeville did not think Mr..
Moody could teach any Methodist
preacher how to perform his work. DIR.
Williamson, of the business committee,
said if he was to invite Br. Moody to
speak to them he wanted the brothers
present to 'change the tone of their
remarks"
This admonition did not have the
desired effect. The Rev. DR.. Wheaton
did not need any assistance from Br.
Moody in bringing souls to Christ.
Sunday some of the members of his
congregation had strayed off to hear
Moody, but those who remained to hear
him (Wheaton) heard powerful SER
mon, which brought forty anxious in
quirers to the altar, who could not be
driven away until they had received |
the influence of the Holy Spirit In
the evening when those who had gone
to hear Moody were informed of the
powerful sermon Of their own preacher
they were very sorry they had not re-
manned at home.
The Rev. Frank Hardin said Br.

A. Skinner, of Somerville, long suffering
invalid, has entered on her rest. She died
on Sunday, Jan. 8, at the age of fifty-nine.
A very able and lovely woman, devoted
wife and mother, and as pastors wife, one
of the most helpful we have ever known, her
Gle of friends. The consultations of the gos-
pei rest with our bereaved brother and his
family; the sympathy of the household of
faith are his and theirs wherever the beloved
dead was known. The remains were tenderly
laid to rest in Proctorsville, VT, in the fam
lily burial ground after appropriate services
in the Somerville church, conducted by Rev.
Drs. Miner and Biddle and Rev. @. F. Lee.

rapid strides when the Old South Church
responds with affirmations like these.
The belief in universal salvation add
ing 'sfresh incentive to the heart of
every lover of righteousness the world
over )" "every mans zeal whose zeal is
for righteousness" gaining "immeas-
urably" by this faith ''the ultimate
goal" presented in this faith, $50 grand
as to almost create soul under the
ribs of death )" the final consumma-
ton satisfying to the reason" to the
enlightened Christian conscience" to
the demands of holy Affection" and
Ito the will that would carry its SOW
ereign purpose over the whole circle of
being" adding to the missionary mo-
tive ''incalculable strength" and fur
nishing powerful incentive to live for
ighteousness"- are the glowing
testimonies in favor of Universalism
by one who is not himself "a dogmatic
Universalist," but who clearly recog-
nizes the moral grandeur and powerful
stimulus of the faith when received in
righteousness and appropriated by a
Christian mind and heart. The sug-
gestion at once arises, how much more
could Mr.. Gordon say Of Universalism
il he believed it were he what he is
careful to say he is not, ga dogmatic
Universalist ?" 1t would be difficult
for any advocate of the faith to give a
more glowing testimony to its practical
power over the heart, and the royalincen-
tive which it brings to its believers,
than is furnished in these remarkable
words.
Mr.. Gordon's views will be promptly
and decidedly repudiated by many of his
own communion. Such assertions as
he makes in regard to Universalism
will not pass unchallenged. The at
tempt will be made once again, and for
the ten-thousandth time, to discredit
our faith, and to make it appear that its
influence is evil and only evil; that
Universalism in any form is bar to
successful religious work; that the re-
lection of the doctrine of eternal hell
makes havoc with the moral law and
order of the universe. But Mr.. Cor
don's words, embodying the courage of
conviction, will stand as remarkable
protest against the narrow views of or
thodox theologians, and be widely in
6uential in spreading abroad in the
world better conception of our faith,
and more truthful estimate of its
principles and influence, than has pre-
viously obtained in the orthodox circles
of the land.

formity of belief, except in the funda-
mental Christian doctrine of the an
cient creeds."
The Baptists are informed that there
is no necessity for any longer remaining
outside of the church, or ''in schism,"
and without an apostolic ministry"
when the church sanctions immersion.
Again, every thing that Methodism
proposes doing can be done just as we'll
within the body of the church." and
that great organization is informed that
it has no good reason for maintaining
an independent existence. "And why
should Universalists," asks Mr.. Prince,
form separate sect when the church
permits the greatest latitude of be-
lief among her children as to the fu-
'ture state of man, exacting no more
"than is clearly taught in the Bible ?"
Presbyterians and Congregationalists,
however, can not unite with the church
without abandoning their distinctive
ideas of ecclesiastical government, but
when the glorious sense of what cath
olicity means enters their mind and
heart" even these iron-clad sectarists
may be depended on to enter the
American Church," and unite their
forces with those now called Episcopa.
lians, to rear the new and grand eccles-
iasticism of America.
Such, in outline, are the roseate views
presented in this article. We fear that
the plea for Christian unity on the
principle of giving up everything for
the privilege of belonging to ian apos-
tolic church," whose claims to apostle
lie origin are more than questioned by
many of its own members, will not
prove of any great avail. The Christ
ian denominations, or "sects," as they
are styled by Episcopalians, will proba-
bly, accept all the disadvantages of a
Estate of schism," and the ills which
follow from being "outside of the
church," and continue in the way in
which they have achieved substantial
prosperity in the past, giving no heed
to this tempting scheme of Christian
unity so pleasantly outlined. We can
think of some essential things which
the Protestant Episcopal church in
America need to realize before taking
the contract to absorb all the promin-
ent churches of America, and these are,
to make itself larger and more infuen-
tial, more opulent in resources, and
more commanding in Christian enter
prise and work. Just at present the
Episcopal church is altogether too
small and unimportant an organism, al
belt respectable, as well as apostolic"
and Catholic" to make the proposal
Of the union of all denominations under
it's proposed new and ambitious name,
anything more than simply ridiculous,
and signal example of ecclesiastical
vanity and egotism.

NEW AGENT FOR BUCHTEL COLLEGE.

Mr.. A. A. STEARNs, of the Cleve-
land Bar, graduate of Buchtel Col
lege, of the class of 1879, has accepted
an appointment as general agent of the
college. He proposes to visit the sew
eral parishes which lie in the legitimate
field of the college, holding educational
meetings, giving information about the
college, interesting our young people in
education, and taking a general over
sight of the relations of the college and
its constituency. AS we understand
the matter it is no part of Mr.. Stearns'
mission to undertake general can
vass for money. The college is happily
no longer under the necessity of max
ing such an appeal. 1t will, however,
be his object to interest men Of wealth
in this college, in order to secure en-
dowments and requests, without which
no college can accomplish its mission
and keep abreast with the progress of
the times. Mr.. Stearns proposes to hold
his meetings on Sundays, so far as prac-
ticable, and to begin about Feb 1. An
nouncements of the meetings will be
sent to THE UNIvERsALIsT as soon as
the arrangements for holding them are
completed. The college esteems itself
fortunate in securing the services of an
able and energetic alumnus to repre-
sent it among the people-a man who
thoroughly knows the college and is
profoundly interested in it's welfare.
Mr.. Stearns will ask for the co-opera-
tion of our clergy in his work, and we
can assure them that although he is not
preacher, he will adorn the pulpit.
